Jacqueline D Johnson

Jacqueline D. Johnson serves as a Contracting Officer within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she leads the acquisition of critical communications infrastructure to support the Department of Defense’s global network modernization efforts. Her portfolio centers on securing, sustaining, and expanding resilient telecommunications systems, including secure virtual private networks, high-capacity data transport, and interoperable command and control environments. She manages complex solicitations under FAR and DFARS frameworks, prioritizing mission-critical capabilities that ensure uninterrupted connectivity across military and federal operations. Her acquisitions typically involve IT services, network equipment, and cybersecurity-integrated telecom solutions, requiring strict compliance with DoD information assurance standards. Johnson maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense and commercial telecom contractors, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., AOC CONNECT LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in secure fiber-optic deployment, enterprise-grade network services, and mission-critical system integration. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a focus on long-term, performance-based agreements that emphasize reliability, scalability, and cybersecurity resilience, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to meet dynamic operational demands. Her set-aside preferences show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 93.5% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is limited to 6.5%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a selective but compliant approach to socioeconomic contracting that prioritizes mission readiness over mandatory set-aside quotas. Johnson’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting her dominance in managed network services, systems integration, and telecom engineering support. She also frequently procures electronic computer manufacturing (334111) and wireless communications equipment (334220), underscoring her technical expertise in hardware-enabled network solutions and secure data transmission systems critical to DoD’s evolving communications architecture.
